Several people chatted while eating, drank six bottles of Qinghe wine, and ate the beef, mutton, vegetables and vegetables prepared, and the time was already more than half of the unitary time.

"Thank you Lord Hou for your hospitality today, I went back to the house, and I will invite Lord Hou to the house for a banquet another day!" Xu Fu drank red face, his ears were red, he staggered a little when he walked, and when he got into the car, he not only hugged a stack of drafts of the Compendium of Materia Medica that Chen Xu brought to him from Qinghe Town, but also carried two roasted whole rabbits in his hands, ready to take them back to the house to taste with his wife and concubine.

The carriage was bumpy all the way, and Xu Fu was also dizzy, and he was stopped by two chamberlains before he reached the door.

"Imperial Doctor Xu, Your Majesty suddenly lost your appetite, Mrs. Jiang and Concubine Shu called you to enter the palace quickly!" An attendant said anxiously.

Uh~, Xu Fu looked at the roast rabbit in his arms, "Wait a minute, you two, I'll go back to the house and put down the food for a while!" ”

"Imperial Doctor Xu can't wait, I've been out for almost half an hour, if I let my wife wait, my life will not be saved!" Another chamberlain also said anxiously.

"Let's go!" Xu Fu had no choice but to ask the groom to turn the horse's head and go straight to the palace.

Qin Shi Huang was in a bad mood today.

When eating dinner, for some reason, he suddenly became angry, swept the dishes to the ground, and the frightened imperial chef and a group of inner history servants knelt on the ground densely, fortunately, the eldest prince Fusu came to ask for peace, Qin Shi Huang seemed to be in front of his son in order to maintain his majesty to forcibly calm down his emotions, and then under the persuasion of the two concubines who rushed to the news to start eating again, but he couldn't eat a mouthful, and barely drank half a bowl of rice porridge and returned to the dormitory, and then the sound of falling things came from the dormitory.

This behavior of the First Emperor can be said to be rare.

Since he officially ascended the throne as the king of Qin, he has rarely appeared, and I heard that the most angry time was when he learned that Chang Yu claimed to be a false father and was not a eunuch, and that his mother had committed adultery and gave birth to two sons, he had almost gone crazy.

However, at that time he was still a minor, and he was regent by Lü Buwei.

When Qin Shi Huang borrowed the Yongcheng crown ceremony, he secretly ordered Wang Jian to secretly lead elite soldiers to protect, and Chang Yu also took the opportunity to steal Zhao Ji's seal and the jade seal of the first emperor to launch a rebellion, but this seriously threatened Lü Buwei's position, so Lü Buwei colluded with Chang Pingjun and Chang Wenjun to lead the servants and doormen to fight with Chang Yu's subordinates in Xianyang, and Chang Yu escaped from Xianyang with his henchmen after the failure of the coup.

Qin Shi Huang was furious and ordered the whole country: "Those who capture the concubine alive will be given one million, and the one who kills the concubine will be given 500,000 yuan." "Chang Yu and his dead friends were quickly wiped out, and the Qin Emperor Che split Chang Yu and wiped out his three clans. Chang Yu's death party guard Wei Quan, Nei Shi Shi, Zuo Ge Quan, Zhong Dafu Ling Qi and other 20 people, the guests who followed Chang Yu sacrificed people for the lesser sin for the salary of the Zongmiao - ghost salary, and more than 4,000 people who committed serious crimes seized the title and moved to Shu, and relocated to serve for three years.

After quelling this rebellion, the first thing Qin Shi Huang did was to remove Lü Buwei from his post as state minister, and then he let go of his hands and feet and began to govern Qin.

And since the pro-government, basically Qin Shi Huang has rarely been angry for no reason, although he does not like to smile and look majestic on weekdays, but on the whole he is still a calm emperor.

But today, Qin Shi Huang's emotions suddenly broke out very suddenly, so everyone in the palace was frightened.

Led by the two chamberlains, Xu Fu passed through the overlapping palace gates and came to the First Emperor's bedroom, when he was already half awake.

At this time, in addition to the Xuanwu Forbidden Army at the entrance of the dormitory, there were also trembling and kneeling on the ground with internal history and inner servants, and two beautiful women in gorgeous clothes were already tiptoeing at the door.

"Hurry up, Imperial Doctor Xu is here!" The two chamberlains pulled Xu Fu all the way and trotted over.

"Xu Fu has seen Mrs. Jiang and Concubine Shu......"

Before Xu Fu had time to salute, the slightly older woman said anxiously: "Imperial Doctor Xu is exempt, Your Majesty suddenly got angry at the dinner for some reason, and only ate half a bowl of rice porridge, how is this good, Your Majesty is closest to you on weekdays, please persuade Your Majesty to eat some food, otherwise I am afraid that I will starve my body!" ”

Xu Fu had no choice but to reluctantly persuade and comfort: "Madam and Concubine Shu should not be anxious, Your Majesty may not be able to eat because of a bad mood, so the minister will go in and visit." ”

"Okay, Imperial Doctor Xu, please!" Both women were anxious with red eye circles.

Xu Fu was still holding a stack of books and carrying two roast rabbits in his hand at this time, but he didn't know where to put them in a hurry, so he still took it in his hand and gently knocked on the half-open palace door a few times and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Xu Fu asks to see you!" ”

The room was silent for a long time before Qin Shi Huang's voice came out: "It's Imperial Doctor Xu, come in!" ”

"Yes~"

Xu Fu raised his legs and stepped into the door of the dormitory, and at this time, there were several palace maids and chamberlains lying on the ground inside, all of whom were trembling.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Mrs. Jiang and Concubine Shu said that Your Majesty had very little food at the dinner, so the minister came to visit, now it is the cold winter season, and I am afraid that I will not sleep well due to lack of food, and please take care of your body!"

"I can't eat, I'm still tired of Imperial Doctor Xu entering the palace so late, so if you come, talk to me, you all retreat!" Qin Shi Huang sat on a chair, and although there were oil candles around him, the inside of the dormitory looked rather dim and deserted.

"Huh~" The palace maids and chamberlains who were kneeling on the ground got up one by one and cautiously exited the room as if they had been pardoned.

"What is Imperial Doctor Xu holding in his hand?" Qin Shi Huang's eyes fell on Xu Fu's hand.

"This ...... Your Majesty forgives the sin, the minister has just returned from the banquet in Qinghe Houfu, these are some medical books brought to me by Qinghe Hou, these two ...... It's a roasted whole rabbit! Xu Fu replied awkwardly.

"Medical books? Take a look at me! Qin Shi Huang seemed to be interested all of a sudden.

Xu Fu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly put a few unfinished volumes of the Compendium of Materia Medica respectfully on the case in front of Qin Shi Huang.

"Compendium of Materia Medica?" Qin Shi Huang picked up a volume casually, saw the words on the cover, and then opened it, the first page was written with a few big characters of the doctor's parents' heart, and then looked back, all of which recorded the medicinal properties and medicinal methods of some medicinal materials.

For medicinal materials, Qin Shi Huang still has a little research, mainly because there are a lot of medical and Taoist warlocks in the palace, and he also knows a lot about some medicinal properties and pharmacology under the daily exchange.

Qin Shi Huang roughly flipped through the five compendiums of materia medica one by one, and seemed to be in a much calmer mood.

"You wrote this?" Qin Shi Huang asked after closing the book.

"Back to Your Majesty, this is last year when the minister was in Qinghe Town, he met Qinghehou, he explained to me exchange medicine after the minister was inspired to compile, but then the general's old disease recurred, the minister came to Xianyang, these will stay in Qinghe Town, the minister is ready to take the time to continue to write, want to compile a book including medicine, treatment, prescriptions, midwifery, medical and surgical treatment and other common treatment methods, used as a guide to the health center doctors and nurses of the norms, if it can be popularized, it can also be for the people to solve the disease!"

"Imperial Doctor Xu deserves to be my famous doctor in Daqin! When this medical work comes out, when it surpasses Shennong's Materia Medica and becomes a medical treasure, it is the blessing of my Great Qin and all the people! After hearing this, Qin Shi Huang nodded in praise.

"The minister is afraid, these are all compiled under the guidance of Qinghe Hou, and the minister does not dare to be greedy!" Xu Fu hurriedly said.

"Qinghe Hou is really a strange person, it is indeed a great fate that you can meet him!" Qin Shi Huang sighed slightly, and then pointed to the two rabbits in Xu Fu's hands, "You and Qinghehou are old acquaintances, why don't you give you two rabbits when you go to his mansion for a banquet?" ”

"No, Qinghe waited for the hot pot that the ministers invited to eat at night, these two rabbits are ......" Xu Fu said here and suddenly stopped, and sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

"Imperial Doctor Xu, why are you only halfway talking? What is hot pot? Where did this rabbit come from? Qin Shi Huang waited for a long time, and when he saw that Xu Fu didn't seem to be going to speak, he couldn't help but ask.

"Back to Your Majesty, hot pot is to mix all kinds of vegetables and spices together to cook, get a large pot of delicious soup, and then cut the beef and mutton into thin slices, and when eating, directly take the clip and put it into the soup to shabu into seven or eight medium cooked to eat, the taste is extremely delicious...... ...... hiss" Xu Fu said, and he couldn't help but shrug his Adam's apple and turn on the sliding mode, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva involuntarily.

"And this way to eat?" Qin Shi Huang hadn't eaten enough for dinner, but after his emotions calmed down, he listened to Xu Fu talk about how to eat hot pot, and he felt hungry all over.

"These two rabbits smell good, how are they made? Is it delicious? "Qin Shi Huang knew that Chen Xu was good at making delicious food, the first yam and poria cake, and later rice cakes and biscuits, these have already been bought and tasted from the Qinghe store in Wancheng, the most delicious is of course Qinghe wine, yesterday Chen Xu gave him a big car with two hundred bottles when he first entered Xianyang, as well as tea tree fruit oil, Qinghe vinegar, porcelain each have a car, fifty cylinders of purple cloud fairy tea, according to the selling price of Qinghe store, it is worth millions of money, but for Chen Xu, it is estimated that it is less than five thousand yuan according to the cost.

"Your Majesty, these are two roast rabbits in sauce roasted by Qinghehou himself, the taste is crispy and delicious, and the minister followed the chamberlain into the palace before he could take it home......"

"It's delicious, and I can taste it!" Qin Shi Huang interrupted Xu Fu's words.

"Your Majesty, roast rabbit is delicious, but without the permission of the imperial physician and the imperial official, Your Majesty can't eat it rashly!" Xu Fu's forehead began to sweat again, and he regretted that he didn't lose the rabbit halfway just now.

"It's okay, you are the Imperial Doctor, since the words are delicious, why do you need the permission of the Imperial Doctor and the Imperial Decree, take it with me!" Qin Shi Huang was unrelenting, and seemed to be a little impatient.

Xu Fu had no choice but to hand a rabbit to Qin Shi Huang respectfully.

"Hmm, the roasted golden crispy, fragrant......" Qin Shi Huang observed and then tore off a small piece and put it in his mouth, chewing and couldn't help but praise it, and then completely gave up the emperor's shelf, holding the rabbit leg in one hand, and the other hand kept tearing off the rabbit meat and stuffing it into his mouth, and the more he ate it, the faster he ate, even the crispy bones roasted inside were bitten and swallowed.

Xu Fu stood beside him dumbfounded, and after almost a stick of incense, Qin Shi Huang had already eaten half a rabbit, and his speed slowed down.

"Your Majesty, although the roast rabbit tastes good, it is made of charcoal, and it is slightly spicy, and it will be on fire if you eat too much, so please Your Majesty be more restrained and eat less, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep peacefully!"

"It's okay, I'll drink some soup to clear the heat and quench the fire in a while!" Qin Shi Huang ate a few more pieces, and then stopped to wipe his mouth with his sleeve satisfied.

At this time, it seemed that Qin Shi Huang's mood had completely returned to calm, and there was no difference from weekdays, Xu Fu also breathed a sigh of relief and saluted and said: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, please go to bed early, and the minister will come to visit Your Majesty tomorrow!" ”

"Why did you only say half of what you just said, what are you trying to hide?" Qin Shi Huang has not forgotten the matter of Fang Cai.

"This ......" Xu Fu's forehead sweated again, and after hesitating slightly, he said: "Your Majesty, I heard a strange thing when I was drinking and feasting in Qinghe Houfu today!" ”

"What?"

"When drinking and chatting, the minister heard that yesterday and today, many rabbits and foxes were found in Qinghe Houfu who were tied to the bushes with hemp ropes, and there were more than ten of them, but I didn't know who did it, and Qinghe Hou made these captured rabbits into roast rabbits......"

Qin Shi Huang was silent after hearing this, and after a long time, he waved his hand and said: "It's hard work Imperial Doctor Xu, it's getting late, let's go out of the palace early to rest, don't make a public announcement about this matter!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Qinghehou also told the minister like this, but when His Majesty asked, the minister didn't dare to lie and hide it! Retire! Xu Fu hurriedly bowed and saluted, picked up the draft of the Compendium of Materia Medica, and left the room with the remaining rabbit.

At this time, there were still kneeling attendants and palace maids outside the dormitory, and Mrs. Jiang and Concubine Shu were still waiting anxiously outside.

"Imperial Doctor Xu, how is Your Majesty?" The two concubines hurriedly gathered around and asked.

"Mrs. Jiang and Concubine Shu, please rest assured, Your Majesty is safe, you have eaten half a roast rabbit, please instruct the imperial chef to make some white fungus bean soup for Your Majesty to eat, so as not to be hit by the wind and cold when you sleep at night!"

"Okay, okay, thank you Imperial Doctor Xu!" The two concubines hurriedly saluted Xu Fu together, and instructed the chamberlain to send Xu Fu out of the palace.

In the dormitory, Qin Shi Huang's mood had calmed down at this time, and he sat alone on the big chair, his face slowly becoming extremely cold.

His sudden anger today was caused by the court's reward for Chen Xu.

This is also the first time that he has been blocked and opposed by almost all officials in the court, especially Shangqing Meng Yi was the first to stand up, could it be that Mengshi also began to separate from me?

And now from Xu Fu's mouth, he learned about this strange thing that happened in Chen Xu's mansion, thinking about it, he felt that the entire court civil and military officials did not seem to welcome Chen Xu, but Chen Xu repeatedly told him after the letter and the god list that the heavenly machine should not be revealed, once it was revealed, Daqin was afraid of disaster, which made him feel depressed in his heart, and his usual personality was already withdrawn and suspicious, so he began to suspect that the civil and military capital of the Manchu Dynasty seemed to be against him.

It's no wonder that Qin Shi Huang thought so, but what happened during this parade shocked him so much that it completely shook his mind.

Could it be that I have neglected something in the past two years after I pacified the Six Kingdoms?

Qin Shi Huang fell into a long silence.
